Author here - never even thought about the stock possibilities. Was thinking more about annual fee for access (career advice, inside info, moving within companies, negotiating raises or promotions, etc.) and perhaps some search fee. As I've written in other comments here, the difference is that the agent represents you and not the company (since you pay the bill) - it's a big difference and the agent will give you more honest opinions that are not at all clouded by fees. I was hoping some dialogue would come out of this.
